| Norwich, Vermont Artist Statement: I have always been an amateur naturalist and a student of the visual arts. I enjoy exploring the landscape and its components. I find the variations in light, form, texture and color offered by the elements of a landscape fascinating, with endless possibilities for study and observation. I am always drawn toward the pastoral and uncomplicated in design. Over the years I have explored many different forms of photography: black and white, color, different formats, films and printing processes. In the last several years I have made the transition to a process of digital recording, processing and printing. This current arrangement allows me the greatest creative control over all aspects of my workflow from conception to final print. A desktop processing system replaces the wet darkroom, but the workflow is much the same: determining exposure, contrast, color temperature, dodging and burning, etc. I use a fine art watercolor paper coated to receive pigment inks and an Epson pigment ink printer. These two combine for the best print quality that I have ever been able to achieve, and a highly stable archival print, more so than I could attain with traditional color print processes. John became involved with photography in high school in the 70's and is generally self-taught. He earned a degree in Political Science, but pursued photography as a career right out of college. Over the years hes owned a photography gallery on the Maine coast and later became involved in other endeavors. Several years ago Jon returned to photography, his true love. Johns studio is in Norwich, Vermont, where he lives with my wife and three children. In 2006 Jon was presented the Award for Excellence by Boston University's Photographic Resource Center. |
